Coming Out at 48

At 48, a married man tells his wife he is gay. Life stops in its tracks and then begins again. He still goes to sleep in the evening and he still rises in the morning, but everything has changed.

Book

To all of you who continue to find your way to this blog:

While writing this blog, some years ago, I received several inquiries from book editors and agents, as well as many readers, asking me whether I was interested in putting the posts together as a book. At the time, I felt too close to the events themselves and too concerned with my privacy and those close to me to do so. With the passage of time and my own increasing security in my new life, perhaps this has changed. Perhaps I am ready to do this. I still hear from many of you. Many ask to read the old posts, many ask if I am still writing, many tell me their own stories. This dilemma--the married man struggling with his sexuality at midlife--is not disappearing, though gay men are experiencing greater freedom and acceptance. And perhaps I have something useful to say about it.

Moving On

For those who followed these many posts as they were written, or for those who are just stumbling upon them for the first time, please know that I have moved on. When I wrote this blog, I was in a very particular time and place, and now I am in another. I took a long break from writing, but now I am back at it again, this time a little differently, out from under the cover of a pseudonym, with the possibility of writing about a broader set of issues. Not news, though, and not gossip, and certainly not op ed pieces, but still stories. Stories.
